Did you come into this novel as a fan of his poetry? I'm unacquainted with Rilke's work.

No, I haven't read his poems yet. But after reading The Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christophe Rilke I fell in love with Rilke (as a writer) and had to buy his complete works. I recently read his works of prose and love him more than ever.

So, if you want to give him a try, read something short in the beginning and decide whether you like his style or not. There's no need to recommend something particular, as all his writings are sublime (I really adore him, huh)

And concerning your jealousy and kudos: I'm member in another literature forum and took to reviewing each book I read. It's a good way for me to "finish" its story definitely and also to remember more details. Maybe you should give it a try, too.
